Front Our Own Comsrunomer

Mukden, Mar, 27, As the time for the abrogation of Japanese extraterritorial rights in Manchoukuo approaches, the question naturally arises as to the status of other foreigners who now enjoy thes rights. In the case of Japanese the change will not be a very great one, since arrangements are being made for many thousands of Japanese oMldals, and Japanese police te be trans ferred to the Manchoukuo services when the change takes lace.

Japanese advisers and Japanese Judges in considerable number have been employed in all Manchoukuo courts, and progressive improvement these organs may -be looked for. Moreover the new laws In Manchoi-Kuo are patterned in no small past fon those of Japan.

Germans and others who no longer enjoy extraterritorial rights, appear indifferent to the changs, for any improvement in the civil' or criminal courts will be to their advantage. Tt would be dimeult to imagine them faring any worse than a German vice-consul did a few years ago in the Chinese courts in Mukden.
